How can i ascertain database connection info for php mysqli from drupal files?

I have full access to ftp and even phpmyadmin remotely for a project but i am implementing a separate php module for site and I therefore need to connect to the database with mysql statements in php.

All I see in drupal files to connect with is a url.

I don't know drupal but I have a very good knowledge on php.

The URL ($db_url variable) in your sites/default/settings.php file is broken down like this:

protocol://username:password@server/databasename

You should be able to apply that to your own $db_url and get the connection details.
